I posted this on StackOverflow [1], but I'm posting it here as well, as I
believe this is a bug (or at least quirk) in cgi.FieldStorage where you
can't access a file upload properly if "filename=" is not present in the
MIME part's Content-Disposition header. There are a couple of related bugs
open

That's reasonable. This isn't an issue on Python 2.x because everything is
handled as bytes (str on 2.x). It looks like cgi.FieldStorage() only got
Unicode support in Python 3.x at all fairly "late" in the game, for 3.2 or
3.3. It was in that commit (https://github.com/python/cpy
thon/commit/5c23b8
